There was vivid fantasy interspersed with exotic mystery, and lush poetry juxtaposed against evocative narrative. There were fresh voices from budding, primary school writers, and there were “hardy” words, sure to linger in the mind of the reader long after the reading was done, from mature writers. There were even, if you will, perennial authors, familiar names from past years. The Connecticut Writing Project invites you to stroll through the following pages and experience the most vibrant blooms of this year’s entries.

Smith playing Simon Says. It was Lamb’s turn to be Simon. Lamb said to flip over Elementary backwards, but did not say Simon says. Friendly Frog flipped over backwards. School Lamb and Justin looked where Friendly Frog was supposed to be, but nobody South Windsor was there. “I don’t know where Friendly Frog could be,” said Lamb and Justin. So, Lamb and Justin looked downstairs. First, they looked behind the couch, but no Friendly Frog, just crumbs. Then they looked in the kitchen in the cabinet. No Friendly Frog . just peanut butter crackers. So, they looked in the living room. No Friendly Frog . just the Super Scrabble board. Lamb and Justin were confused about where Friendly Frog could be. It was time for them to look upstairs. First, they looked in Lauren’s room. No Friendly Frog . just bunny. Then they though he was hiding in Carter’s room. They looked in Carter’s toy box. No Friendly Frog . just other stuffed animals. They thought he didn’t listen to what Lamb said and maybe fell behind the bed, and they were right! So, finally, they found him behind Carter’s bed! Lamb and Justin said, “Hi, Friendly Frog. We looked every place we could for you.” Friendly Frog, Justin, and Lamb were happy that they found each other. After that game, they lived happily ever after when they played together. Winter is Special Alexis Klimaszewski Kindergarten Winter is fun, it has lots of snow. Sunnyside Lots of snowflakes are floating down low. School We are making a snowman and angels, too. Shelton We are spraying the snow red, green and blue. We make a big fort and sled down the hill, and we stay outside till we get a chill. Winter is special, I won’t make a fuss.

I took it home. It J.P. Vincent smelled fresh like cookies. It looked funny. Everybody thought it looked cool. I Elementary took it to the carnival. I asked one of the managers if he could put him on stage. School They said yes. He went on stage. As soon as the curtains opened he made a cool Bloomfield noise, and this is what it sounded like: “Madagascar-grrrrrr-meyo-coco.” Everybody was surprised. Then the noise got weirder and weirder. Then it got noisier and noisier. Everyone was amazed. The show was over then; everyone went home with their sons and daughters. I went home and my pet was very, very happy. My pet was very smart. It could read books. It knew how to drive. I took it for a walk. It knew how to write. I loved it and it loved me. The End Rhianna Under My Bed Baldwin Grade 1 Under my bed is .

  • Russian Cinema: a Very Short Story
    Zhurnal ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya, 2018, 5(2) Copyright © 2018 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Zhurnal ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7294 2018, 5(2): 82-97 DOI: 10.13187/zhmnp.2018.2.82 www.ejournal18.com Russian Cinema: A Very Short Story Alexander Fedorov a , a Rostov State University of Economics, Russian Federation Abstract The article about main lines of russian feature film history: from 1898 to modern times. The history of Russian cinema goes back more than a century, it knew the stages of rise and fall, ideological repression and complete creative freedom. This controversial history was studied by both Russian and foreign scientists. Of course, Soviet and Western scientists studied Soviet cinema from different ideological positions. Soviet filmmakers were generally active in supporting socialist realism in cinema, while Western scholars, on the contrary, rejected this method and paid great attention to the Soviet film avant-garde of the 1920s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation changed: russian and foreign film historians began to study cinema in a similar methodological manner, focusing on both ideological and socio-cultural aspects of the cinematographic process. Keywords: history, film, movie, cinema, USSR, Russia, film historians, film studies. 1. Introduction Birth of the Russian "Great Mute" (1898–1917). It is known that the French brought the movies to Russia. It was at the beginning of 1896. However, many Russian photographers were able to quickly learn a new craft. Already in 1898, documentary plots were shot not only by foreign, but also by Russian operators.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Peter Slovtsov, Ivan Kalashnikov, and the Saga of Russian Siberia
    ENLIGHTENING THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT: PETER SLOVTSOV, IVAN KALASHNIKOV, AND THE SAGA OF RUSSIAN SIBERIA Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark A. Soderstrom Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas B. Breyfogle, Advisor Alice L. Conklin David L. Hoffmann Copyright by Mark A. Soderstrom 2011 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the lives, works, and careers of Peter Andreevich Slovtsov (1767-1843) and Ivan Timofeevich Kalashnikov (1797-1863). Known today largely for their roles as Siberian “firsts”—Slovtsov as Siberia‟s first native-born historian, Kalashnikov as Siberia‟s first native-born novelist—their names often appear in discussions of the origins of Siberian regionalism, a movement of the later nineteenth century that decried Siberia‟s “colonial” treatment by the tsarist state and called for greater autonomy for the region. Drawing on a wide range of archival materials— including two decades of correspondence between the two men—this study shows that Slovtsov and Kalashnikov, far from being disgruntled critics of the tsarist state, were its proud agents. They identified with their service careers, I suggest, because they believed that autocratic rule was the best system for Russia and because serving the tsarist state provided what they saw as their greatest opportunity to participate in a progressive, world-historical saga of enlightenment. Their understanding of this saga and its Russian reverberations gave form and content to their senses of self. An exploration of Slovtsov and Kalashnikov‟s complex lives through the long paper trail that makes them accessible today offers revealing perspectives on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of Russia—in particular on topics of service, selfhood, bureaucratic culture, education, and the intersection of public and private life—as well as ii on the history of Siberia and its place in the empire.

  • [St.] Raymond Pettibon[E] : 1978 - 1986 June 16 - September 26, 2008
    specific object / david platzker presents [St.] Raymond Pettibon[e] : 1978 - 1986 June 16 - September 26, 2008 Specific Object / David Platzker is pleased to announce the opening of [St.] Raymond Pettibon[e] : 1978 - 1986. The exhibition will be on view at Specific Object from June 16 though September 26, 2008. Between the years 1978 and 1986 Raymond Pettibon [a.k.a. Raymond Pettibone; St. Pettibone; Chuck Higby; Ray Dylan; Raymond Ginn] produced an aggressive trove of graphic works for the seminal Southern California punk band Black Flag as well as for Red Cross, The Minutemen, Nig Heist, and others. Published predominately by SST Records -- which was founded by Pettibon's brother and Black Flag guitarist, Greg Ginn -- the exhibition features over two hundred gig flyers, artists' books, album covers, posters, T-shirts, stickers, skateboard decks, and the first five editioned prints by Pettibon. "The flyers were one of the best things about working with SST," recalls the lanky Pettibon at his Redondo Beach studio. "It's more of a general audience when it goes on a telephone pole. It's not something that you can buy in a store or see on TV. You see it at a glance and you can't switch it off." And make no mistake -- some of Pettibon's pen-and-ink drawings are strong enough to make you reach for the off button: Themes include castration, dismemberment, suicide, murder. Working in a style reminiscent of religious tract handouts, Pettibon shows one-shot images of disturbed pockets of humanity that are at times humorous, violent and macabre: A panel with a pair of men fighting with knives is headed with the caption "Your girlfriend called me chicken." A skeleton standing on a stage tells an audience, "Life is a joke" with a caption underneath that says, "This is the punch line." "(My drawings) are violent," Pettibon, 24, admits.

  • The American West and the World
    THE AMERICAN WEST AND THE WORLD The American West and the World provides a synthetic introduction to the trans- national history of the American West. Drawing from the insights of recent scholarship, Janne Lahti recenters the history of the U.S. West in the global contexts of empires and settler colonialism, discussing exploration, expansion, migration, violence, intimacies, and ideas. Lahti examines established subfields of Western scholarship, such as borderlands studies and transnational histories of empire, as well as relatively unexplored connections between the West and geographically nonadjacent spaces. Lucid and incisive, The American West and the World firmly situates the historical West in its proper global context. Janne Lahti is Adjunct Professor of History at the University of Helsinki and the editor of American Studies in Scandinavia.

Punk meant rebellion, and this research looks at how the rebellion of the American punk movement during the eighties [1978 to 1992], was aimed at the president Ronald Reagan. Their dissent, however, was not only directed towards Reagan, but the culture that he encompassed.
